r4ptureThis thread is confusing.
People at first talk about how the SL nerf could help expand the game, and are told "stfu, this effects high level" and then a few high level players are saying they like it, and are being downfragged into oblivion.
???
I don't think anyone actually believe that this nerf is "expanding" the game other than you. Stop pretending your opinion is that of the majority and face the fact that most high level players (invite/prem) think this change is for the worst (with the only exception of Plat/Harbleu in this forum).
As for your previous post about how much you enjoyed watching competitive games after the patch, please consider the quality of what you are seeing - just because it's new doesn't mean its good. The traps/pipes only/or shield meta may look good for a week, but it will probably be less enjoyable overall for the future.
